Listcruft and fancruft. nothing encyclodedic, and completely useless to anyone not playing the game DurinsBane87 00:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom: not notable enough for an encyclopedia. Heimstern Läufer 02:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I am not ready to promote a particular direction, but this is a tough one, listcruft can be a problem and normally I would be happy to delete it, but GT is a powerful force in the automotive enthusiast world especially among young people. Being featured in the game helps cars achieve cult status, and this is really not just my personal opinion(if I need to I could dig up some car magazine sources).  I remember reading once that Gran Turismo was responsible in part for the popularity of cars like the Mazda RX-7 and Trueno Sprinter in America as well as the popularity of American muscle cars and TVR in Japan.  It should not be deleted without careful thought. --Daniel J. Leivick 03:31, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Gran Turismo is an important part of popular culture, and the above point is a good one. Inclusion in Gran Turismo is important to car manufacturers, to the extent that Nissan even released a special edition of their 350Z called the Gran Turismo Edition /Spute 19:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - While GT has substantial influence in the real world industry, Wikipedia is not the place to promote that influence. As a list of cars, this article has no encyclopedic value. The impact of GT on the car industry can be explained on the respective game articles; GT being popular does not justify the existence of a complete car list on Wikipedia. --Scottie theNerd 03:45, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - This would be great on a car enthusiast site or GameFAQs, but not Wikipedia. Korranus 04:45, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per Scottie theNerd. Combination  14:46, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Scottie theNerd. The game/series is notable, but the list of cars is not. --Alan Au 23:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Article has been nominated and deleted twice already. one and two. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 07:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Another comment. Cars included in Gran Turismo 2 should be included in this deletion discussion also. Exactly the same type of article, just for a different version of the game. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 07:43, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
